Rename crowner. I do not think that merging the YKTTW into this trope needs a crowner as it just entails clarifying the description and moving the examples over, nothing that needs crowner consensus.

Single prop crowner's hooked.

Votes bump! We are now at 8-3 in favour of a rename.

Still at 10-3. Two or so more votes and we can roll with that (or no).

I think 10:3 is an obvious consensus. Given the low amount of participation in TRS, demanding a quorum more than 10 or 12 would mean we'd never get anything done here.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Is that low participation a cause for concern?

I've been thinking of that. I suspect that after the Great Trope Naming Policy Debates of 2011 and the installation of the thread cap, TRS participation has dropped off a bit.

I think that currently there is no such rule that we need a minimum of X votes; and I think that this is not the place for debating whether such a rule should be created, or what X should be. So based on that, I don't agree with statements in TRS that "we have Y votes now and we need at least Z more"; they imply a hard rule exists when in fact it doesn't

Not exactly a "rule", but there is a standard for vote numbers, so to speak.

Some of the older threads had a lot more people voting, sometimes reaching large numbers in the crowner. There really should be more though.

Rename crowner. Hollered for a hook.

New crowner's hooked and the title's adjusted.

I upvoted One Myth to Explain Them All because it's clearer on the trope's nature than Grand Unifying Myth.

If people are willing to wait, I'll do the rename midday-evening time of the 9th September, CET.

Did the rename, tagging and wick moving. The new page isn't showing up as a bluelink, but that's in the purview of the Tech Wishlist.
